How loose are they? Why haven't you tightened them? If they are snug and you applied a dry verm layer you should be okay.

You're good with a lid that just sits on it. I started out with a simple pot and lid that barely sat flat on the top and still had success however a PC would be much better and more efficient for you.

Just make sure the pot doesn't run out of water. With a loose fitting list, more steam loss, the sooner it could run dry. I had a tight fitting lid and still had to top up the water a couple times. I steamed for about 100 minutes.

Yea you do need to pay attention to the amount of water you have inside but if you can raise the jars off the bottom far enough you can add plenty of water to allow it to steam for a while without worrying too much about the amount of water left. Just be sure to do it for around 90 minutes. I am sure it doesn't need to be exact but the more exact you are the more easily it will be to determine where you screw up if in fact you do. Not saying you will. I really hope all goes great for you.
